'15 Goals:

I've run up and down the strip early in the morning (the sidewalks are very wide, but you will have to run up and down stairs at some of the intersections). Usually there are a few people still out from the night before that are both drunk and amazed that you are running.
I've also run from MGM to the airport and then around the airport. That's a terrible run (flat though).
There is also a running club out there that will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to their runs. i don't remember their URL, but if you search for Las Vegas running clubs you should find it. Their wednesday run leaves from the Nike Store in Caeser's Palace.

Trent:
What 'couple of days'? I live in LV, and there are a lot of places to run other than the strip, if you can get off the strip. A couple of websites to try:
www.lvtc.org
www.lasvegasrunningteam.com
If it includes next Saturday, there are a number of us doing 18.
If you (actually, anyone) wants some info on running in LV (offstrip), you can contact me at summerlinrunner@gmail.com

Thanks again. I will be getting in Tuesday, leaving Thursday. I will probably be looking for early morning runs Weds and Thurs. I probably will NOT have transportation, other than a pair of Saucony shoes.

oh my god how freaky! I was just coming on to post my own topic saying that I'm coming to Vegas in a couple of weeks (2/3 to 2/9) and was wondering if anyone has any route suggestions (jet lag permitting of course)
thanks for helping me out

Trent, I'm sorry I didn't get to see this until too late, we could have run the strip together. I just made it back home from Vegas a few minutes ago. We stayed at Paris from Wed until this morning. I ran 2 mornings on the strip at about 5-6am. It was fantastic...not crowded at all. The 2nd morning, I hit construction twice where they had the sidewalks closed too & had to do a few loops, but it was fun anyways. The stairs gave me a bit of a workout, since I hate running hills even, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (apparently all the squats I've been doing at the gym are helping!). I probably ran past you if you were running in the early a.m.!!
